My cousin got to play with him in Wollongong in the later stages of his career. I remember him saying he thought he had played with some tough hombres until he saw big Cliff in action. Catching up with him for a beer on Saturday night & I expect he will peel off those stories again.
 
Tough, mean and ugly but I was fascinated with this English giant as a kid.
A shame to hear because he was working at St Vincent's hospital into his 70s I heard.
He was a great and respected rival of both the Sea Eagles and the kangaroos.
Farewell Cliff.
 
Typical No.7 cat move...hide behind your own player....but in this case he can be excused, some hard men going at it.
RIP Cliff.
